Founded in 1969 by nine African-American financial leaders in New York City, the National Association of Black Accountants, Inc. continues its founding mission of creating opportunities and advancing Black business leaders in Greenbelt, Maryland and nationwide. Born from a time when only 136 African-American CPAs existed among 100,000 total CPAs in the United States, NABA was established to address the unique challenges and limited opportunities facing Black professionals in accounting and finance. Today, the organization represents more than 200,000 Black business leaders and serves as a platform where members engage, empower, and educate one another while elevating their voices in their respective industries. NABA's core values—All In, Intention, Morals, and Service—guide the organization's commitment to building a culture that embraces diversity, inclusion, and equity. The association provides a supportive community where professionals and students can develop their skills, access meaningful career connections, and contribute to transforming industries for the better. By fostering innovation and collaboration among its diverse membership, NABA empowers individuals to achieve professional excellence while maintaining a strong sense of civic responsibility. The organization's motto, "lifting as we climb," reflects its dedication to ensuring that as members succeed, they create pathways and opportunities for others to advance as well.
